Many thanks to everyone for supporting our fundraising efforts for Cash for Kids during Superhero Day. We raised an amazing £424.17!!

Huge congratulations also go to Hachi Weli who raised a whopping £155, Alexander Allen who raised £80 and to Meredith Reid who was interviewed live on air for North Sound!

Exciting News
30th April 2015
We have just taken possession of our very own caterpillars which we are growing into healthy butterflies. They come with all of the nutritious food that they need to grow. After 7 to 14 days, our caterpillars will climb to the top of their cup and will attach themselves to the lid. They will then shed their exoskeletons one last time and harden into chrysalides. After three days the chrysalides will be fully hardened and we will be able to move them to our Butterfly Hatching Habitat where they will eventually emerge as Painted Lady Butterflies. We will observe the wonder of our butterflies for a few precious days - then let them go.

Thank you to all staff and parents who suggested some very ingenious names for our three age groups. After much deliberation, we have decided that the playrooms will be called Wellie Babies (Babies), Wellie Tots (Toddlers) & Wellie Beans (Pre-school). Hope you like them! Congratulations to Fife Hyland who came up with them! Your prize is on the way to you Fife! I can't wait to meet all of our Wellie Babies, Wellie Tots and Wellie Beans in due course!
